Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Crown 84]

.....How about ... for our coffee-loving friends ...

Javalicious!

Oooo!
Carl likes that one!
(So does Binger.)

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Hey, look who I spotted hanging out by the snow covered pool ...

Santa vacationing at the Shispering Pines - wonder what he will think of Carl's special blend tonight!

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Auntie! What's the song for tonight?

American Idol is on tonight so you can audition with it! :wiggy:

If Carl and the hammock relaxing Santa are the judges, I'll toss one out there! I might sing it out loud just to see O'Malley's reaction. HaHa.

Sorry @ the two weeks, but excellent news that it is healing!!!! Happy for you, Xmas.
How are you coming w/ your Christmas books? Do you have a favorite, yet?

:smile:

I like Why Does Santa Wear Red, and The Life Christmas Around the World best so far.

If It Were Christmas!
By: Auntie Mistletoe (adapted from Topo’s - If I Were A Rich Man from: Fiddler on the Roof)

If it were closer to Christmas
Daidle, deedle, daidle, digguh,
Digguh, deedle, daidle, dum
All day long, I’d decorate my home
If it were closer ho, ho, hum.

Wouldn’t have to trim the tree much
Daidle, deedle, daidle, digguh,
Digguh, deedle, daidle, dum
I’d bake some cookies and pies
Hang the lights like stars in the skies.

I’d build a big tall snowman with a top hat
And all sorts of thrills and things like that
A fine broomstick and perhaps a friend
Who knows where the mistletoe be at
I’d fill my yard with ferris wheels, festive wooden soldiers
A Christmas village and a Nativity - perhaps
I’d build one snow fort for the grandkids to play in
It’d be warm with hot cocoa to serve and gingersnaps

I wouldn’t have to wait much
Santa would be arriving soon
I would wrap gifts by the dozen
Right in the middle of the living room
With ribbons and bows and pretty paper
And special festive tags to match

The people in the town would come to me and wonder
Where’d she get the Christmas spirit from - ours seem under wrap
And how’d she manage to play music from her computer
Piping it out in the streets for all to hear while trying to nap
And amazingly they’d gaze at the revolving Merry-Go-Round
Taking them back to childhood joys and awe

I would watch Christmas movies all night
Daidle, deedle, daidle, digguh
Digguh, deedle, daidle, dum
This would be the sweetest thing of all

Pay no attention to the cat giggling in the corner. It's just O'Malley.

 

[xmas365]

Good night all!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Great song, Auntie! As the judges, Carl and Santa, on American Idol would say, "You're going to Hollywood"!!!! O'Malley got a golden ticket too just for being so cute!

Hurray = I got a call back to sing another song - what does that cat know. Carl and Santa voted for another song.

When Christmas Lights Are Twinkling By: Irish Auntie Mistletoe
(Sung to the tune of: When Irish eyes are smiling Music by Ernest R. Ball
Lyrics by Chauncey Olcott and George Graff, Jr.)

When Christmas Lights are twinkling
It’s the Christmas season for sure,
In the glow of festive candles,
You can hear the people sing
When Christmas spirits are plenty,
The world seems filled with glee
Sharing memories around the Christmas Tree.

There’s turkey in the oven,
Gravy on the stove,
‘Cause company is comin’
To celebrate in your home.
There’s never a mean word spoken,
Only joy, laughter, and a caroling song.
Your star atop the Christmas tree, twinkles brightly,
Children laughing because it’s Christmas Day,
And we‘re celebrating a special Babe’s Birthday.

When Christmas Lights are twinkling
It’s the Christmas season for sure,
In the glow of festive candles,
You can hear the people sing
When Christmas spirits are plenty,
The world seems filled with glee
Sharing memories around the Christmas Tree.


Well, I'll be - O'Malley liked that one - but then again, he's an Irish cat.

Now he's purring and chillin' in his cat bed.

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Good night all!

Sweetest of Christmas Dreams to you! :hi:

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Is there anyone alive who can understand a cat?

O'Malley would never reveal anything to a cat whisperer.

Probably not.
But our dog thinks they're all evil and should be chased out of the yard on sight.

O'Malley says Dogs are all ears and cats trick the dogs into wagging their tails ...

while they prepare their attack!

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

It's early, but I have to head off - I have to pack for Hollywood.


Happy slumbers - have fun at the Pines!

 

[Christmasstar]

decided to bring Penny along to the Pines when I heard O"Mally would be there...

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Penny and O'Malley got the dance moves!

 

[made582]

Carl Rocks!!!!!!!! I love these new driving simulators that he had installed in the game room. I think me and Coach and going to run a 50 lap shootout.

 

[iliam]

Great night at the Pines. Mistletoe, wonderful music. Sweet songs to my ears. Carl's got the party going strong tonight. I'm really loving the PB Blend!

 

[Seawaters]

Sweet!!!

This be Lulu:

 

[Seawaters]

This is what makes this forum SO SPECIAL!!!

...

I'll be thinking of you. We'll help get you through this. We'll all be waiting there after surgery and we'll keep you company while you convalesce and get reconstructed.



Hoping she gets some relief soon.

 

[Seawaters]

I love it. I want to get some apps. I plan to use it mostly for TV shows and movies while I "do" chemo.

How did your appt. go?

How do you like the Nook tablet? I love it!

 

[Seawaters]

That does sound nutritious!!! It's too bad they can't keep you busier at school!!!

Since we'll all be at the Pines tonight, I decided that I needed to eat a super healthy/scrumptious dinner before taking the trip. Would anyone else like some mint Oreo ice cream with extra chocolate syrup and tons of whipped cream? Let me know!!!

:razz:

I had such a long day. Woke up, got ready, classes, grocery shopping, now I just got home a little bit ago and I have to study for a Statistics exam tomorrow. Then tomorrow I have to do 12 essays, Meteorology homework, a Meteorology lab, International Business homework, an International Business paper, and study for two exams next week. Blah!

I need a nice night at the Pines.
